Thursday check-in (Please share with us!)

You can do it.....the weekend is almost here. Sleep deprivation is not a pretty thing. It's okay to come here and whine and let it all out-  - afterall we don't have to live with you and we promise to still like you.

Okay, I am going to try stop being a lurker and join in the conversation.  Today, I am feeling good.  I think the sun come out has help my mood.  I have been a resentful cranky puss for the past five days.  Yesterday, I had a breakthorough.  I was able to eat 3 oz of chicken breast from the cafeteria without any problems.  I took ate is slowly and chewed it to pieces and it went down fine and stayed down.  I am getting better at getting my fluids in.  Now I need to work on my supplements.  I have been reading blogs suggested by different people here and I am learning a lot about supplements.  Now I have to try some and see which work for me.  I am starting to look forward to the long weekend.  It will be a busy one with two school related activities for my son and ,hopefully, some pool and swiming time with my daughter as long as the thunderboomers stay away.  Sunday night, my husband and I are celebrating our 19th wedding anniversary but spending the night at a hotel without the kids.  I am really looking forward to that the most.

I love to read.  I read a lot of trashy but funny romance novels and funny fantasy novels.  Current favorite authors are P.C. Cast and Julia Quinn.

There that wasn't so scary.

Welcome!!!! As you just realized - we don't bite. Come out and play as often as you can. It's time to get this board rolling again,

Congratulations on the wedding anniversary and enjoy the time away as a couple.

I haven't tried any of the fantasy genres in a long, long time. But knowing there are some funny ones may have just broadened my reading list substantially. Thanks.

Holly,

I bet you would like the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich.  They are funny and a mystery all in one.  You would need to read them in order, but they are GREAT.

Thanks for joining us. 

Have a GREAT day!

Hi Carrie, 

Great to see you today. Like you, I'm delighted that Iris started the getting to know you thread and it looks like it's getting some play. Whhoooo Hoooo! 

I used to read voraciously, then had trouble with the focus and concentration thing. I've started reading a little again and find that I things like Memoirs of a Geisha and The Piano Teacher. I'm a big Nicholas Sparks fan and I'm sure I've read everything he's written. I used to read a lot of criminal thrillers, but haven't done those as much lately. 

Hope you are having a great day too!

I honestly have to say, my favorite author is dr. seuss lol. I only say that because usually thats the only books i read to my youngest son. OH and there is curious george and clifford the big red dog of course lol. I use to always read romance and mystery books but now that i have so much energy, i just wanna keep moving, not that im complaining :)

Have a great thursday everyone!!

Emelinda you took me WAY back to my childhood!

I had the Foot Book
Never kept it in a nook
Now I am on the hook
To go find my book!
Look...my book someone took

just like all my other toys
some made noise

but not my book
I'll find that crook!

That was fun!

 

Lol my son likes green eggs and ham. I gotta admit though, I like the books too. Its fun to watch my son try to read as fast as I do and he gets all tongue tied. We just start laughing and of course its leads to a tickle fight lol. I'm just glad I can be with my kids. I can say, without a shadow of a doubt that if I had not gotten my surgery, I would not be here. So, I am extremely grateful for having my surgery!!
